Reduced Energy Consumption

Print devices are the workhorses of document processes and consume electricity even when resting idle. Many older models were never designed with energy efficiency in mind. Even among newer machines of equivalent performance, there can be a wide range of energy consumption ratings. Reduced energy consumption across a large print estate can equate to very large cost savings as well as a positive environmental impact. Principal can offer you the most environmentally friendly solutions.

Longlife Components and Consumables

Print devices frequently require paper and toner replenishment, but these should be minimised wherever possible. Other components such as drums, fuser units and feed rollers should only require replacement after exceptionally long usage, if at all.

Reduction in Print Volume

The fully paperless office has been achieved by just 1% of EU organisations. A more feasible objective is to go ‘paper-light’ (i.e. use less paper – particularly wasted paper through unnecessary prints) and this is often made possible through intelligent software features. As with reduced energy consumption, the impact of less print waste can equate to substantial cost savings as well as greater environmental sustainability.

Reduced Noise Pollution

The quieter that print devices can be during operation, the better the experience for the people using and working near it. This is unrelated to the challenge of carbon emissions, but undoubtedly contributes to a positive and sustainable environment.
